Tea bags come in pairs, joined together
I live with my partner, just the two of us. So each round of tea uses a nice neat pair of teabags. But sometimes, if one of us has a cup of tea alone there is always a spare single teabag. You still need to split a pair, but one has to go back.

I hate this, it's un-neat, but thought it was too weird to admit.

One day I told her it bugged me, and she laughed it off nicely. Next day I came home and she had split all the teabags into singles cos it bugged her a little bit too, and now everything is just rosy!

That's love that is. OCD love.

Probably the only thing I dislike about Yorkshire teabags

I always split my Yorkshire teabags up
because it makes them loads easier to get into the airtight jar.

Can't leave them in the cardboard box, they'll go stale.

I split them as I use them
Nothings worse than when you rip the bag though, and you end up with tealeaves at the bottom of your brew

Tea shouldn't come in bags at all.
You've mediated a symptom rather than addressing the cause.

That's not love, that's a worrying mental problem developing into co-dependency which will undermine the relationship creating an atmosphere of insecurity and doubt.

How right you are
I will go and handcraft a shiv and end this cycle of torture

I fucking love the word "shiv"
In my book it's right up there with Spondon, spang and Spong and it doesn't even begin with Sp.

It doesn't take much effort.....
...you hold a full wodge of joined teabags, one in each hand and using a breaking bread motion, they all seperate easily, top one first. I usually create twenty single bags from each operation. Simples.

It's not love, she thinks you're a finicky twat.

Well yes
So you do the same thing you finicky twat, god forbid that a qotw on borderline OCD should get borderline OCD responses.

Actually you're not a finicky twat yer just a cunt!

You are a fine judge of character, Sir, and very eloquently put. Thank you.

Haven't you fucking peasants heard of pg pyramids?
away with this OCD amateurism. Try getting all the pyramids to line up sympathetically with the Great one in Giza. Every half-hour.
